Mr.. A. Nichols, Bent county
farmer of several years experience,
says that wheat raising would bel
carried on to large extent by our
farmers if some one would erect d
Touring mill at a convenient point.
A few years ago he and his neigh.
bors raised wheat very successfully
but abandoned this crop on account
of the great distance to a mill. Id
Junta is a most desirable point for
such an enterprise. Farming lands
are being rapidly opened up on eth
er side of the town. 1t is SO situated
as to be most convenient shipping

WOMEN TOILERS.

Rev. Charles Ii. Eaton, pastor of
the church of the Divine Paternity,
iUniversalisD New York, in recent
sermon, said there were 125, 900 wo-
men who are breadwinners who have
no male protectors, no means of sup
port other than their own efforts.
There are $4,000 out OF employment
and 10000 destitute. They are
obliged to accept whatever wages
are offered. They are trained sewing
women, making waists at two and a
half cents each. One woman is re-
ported who was able to make twen-
tp-five cents day, working nineteen
hours. You go out some day and
buy cloak, satin lined and quilted.
Well, it is perhaps made by woman
who makes fifty or sixty cents work
ing fifteen or sixteen hours day.
Similar statistics come from Buff
falo. Women make trousers for
from twelve and half to twenty
five cents, and shirts for from six
and a fourth to twelve and half
cents. They earn from $l,5o to $500
week. Overalls are made for six
ty-two cents a dozen, flannel shirts
for one dollar dozen.

Three Corpses in a Box.

"Look up there" said the Colonel.
I did as he told me and beheld in box
that held on as if by a miracle to the
wall of the burned thcater, three ladies
with blackened visages. One was in
black velvet; another had a jet cuirass;
the third was in pink and white ard
had flowers in mass of frizzed fair
hair. Her mouth was open, rs if gasp
ing for breath; the lips were greatly
curled back and two rows of white,
even teeth were laid bare. The others
leaned back in their chairs very quietly
and one of them held fan on the ledge
of the box. They formed the most
awful sight I think lever gazed upon.
The probability is that. despairing Of
escaping in the fearful torrent of hui
man beings which tore in the dark
along corridors and stairs, they re.
turned to their seats and quietly waited
to be burned or suffocated. Death
came upon them in the form of suffoca.
ton. 1t was impossible, up to the time
l saw them. to get near them, and SO
they remained in their conspicuous pc.
sition for several days. Who these
ladies are nobody has any idea.-Paris

A Curious Pine Log.

Lawrence Brothers. Of South Gardi.
ner, have quite q curiosity in the shape
Of a quarter Of pine log which was
cut and hauled in the year 1910, March
4, the day that President Harrison was
inaugurated. The log had to be blown
open with powder before it could be
GOT out of the stream where 1t was put
in, and has just got to the mill with
logs that have come down this spring.
Mr.. Henry Fogg, one OF the oldest
lumbermen on the river, was there
when the log was cut and hauled, and
it took twelve oxen to haul 1t. He said
they had a great time when they rolled
1t into the stream, and called it the
MAY Flower The quarter meas
ures six feet. and is said to be one OF
the largest. if not the largest. pine ever
cut in Maine. Charles Lawrence, or
Uncle Charles more widely known,
bought the mark of logs when they
were cut. Mr. Fogy says the party
took dinner on the top of the stump,
had a good time, and plenty to wash
the dinner down with. Boston Globe

FOR RED.NOSED WOMEN.
Tho Latest Novelty Affected by Ladies' with
Shiny, Perspiring Faces.

Inc Latest novelty AHeCC6u ny L0uleS WIN
Shiny, Perspiring Faces.
The latest novelty in silver is a tiny
powder box of repousse work, lined
with gold and destined to be carried
in the pocket during the warm summer
months by the women whose noses are
apt to become shiny or whose chins as.
sumo a roseate hue that increases in
depth in proportion to the gradual rise
of the mercury. The box. of course,
contains a miniature powder puff Of
the kind that one sees in a French
dolls outfit, and the daintiest mirror
imaginable is inserted in the lid so that
madame or mademoiselle may gaze
upon her features as she applies her
chalk or bismuth, and know just how
much to put on and how much to take
off. There are some conservative
women-who consider the use of face
powder highly objectionable. But, on
the other hand. there is no doubt that
this adjunct to the toilet is a luxury, so
far as numbers of fashionable danes
are concerned. especially after the hot
weather sets in. Nothing. or few
things are uglier to look upon than
shiny. red, perspring face, particu-
larly when that face belongs to
pretty woman. Therefore the pocket
powder boxes ought to prove very
welcome. The price is somewhat ex-
orbitant. it is true-fifteen dollars for
the plainest pattern. But they are
also manufactured in ivory at the
trifling cost of dollar or so. The
writer happened to be riding down
town the other day in the Sixth ave-
nue. elevated train. Opposite sat a
young woman, and directly facing her
was one Of the long. narrow looking
glasses that adorn the cars. It was
observed as she glanced toward this
mirror--which she did at every turn of
her head-an expression of annoy
ance crossed her countenance. Fin
ally she thrust her hand into her
pocket and pulled out one Of the little
powder boxes just mentioned. Then.
without the least trace of embarass-
ment. she proceeded deity to powder
her nose. A good many of the pas
sengers stared and smiled. But on
the Continent of Europe no self-re-
speeding woman ever goes out with.
out her powder box. and soon, per-
haps, the custom will become general
here as well. w ]. Mail and En-.

EMOTIONAL EXCITEMENT.
One Of the Dangers Of Reading or Rosrisg
SANG uInary Rs0ttsls

One Of the Dangers of Reading or HUsrieg
ssnguinary RsoitsIs-
The habit of reading sanguinary re-
citals. bristling with the details Of the
most hideous crimes, is one which can
hardly fail to produce an unhealthy
moral tone in those addicted thereto.
Instances are not wanting in which
the perusA Of the legendary feats Of
Dick Turpin and his congeners has
paved the way to the commission Of
crime by young and inexperienced per-
sons, to whom crime has been describ.
ed with halo of heroism and courage,
in which, as a matter Of fact, it is gem
orally wanting. The Birmingham
coroner recently held an inquest ON .
young woman, the circumstances Of
whose death open up another point Of
view in the harmful result which may
accrue from inconsiderate tamper-
ing with the emotions. The
young woman in question had
been to the Grand Theater to witness
the performance Of a piece called The
World Against Her." She was very
much affected by what she saw, and
took the earliest possible opportunity
of putting an end to an existence which
she had just seen depicted in such
gloomy colors. No doubt suicide is q
comparatively rare sequel to theat-
rical performance; but the most OF us
are probably familiar with the depres-
sion. occasionally Of . very marked
character, which may follow more
than usually lugubrious novel or play.
Such an effect is, fortunately. ephem-
eral as general rule. and affects one
less acutely than the troubles Of daily
life. There are moments, however,
when the mind becomes more amena-
bic to such enervating influences, and
there are persons who are
constitutionally prone to expert.
ence violent emotional disturb
ance. and on whose nervous
system too dramatic recital may pro.
duce really damaging shock. 1t is
more particularly in individuals whose
Imagination is undisciplined and has
not been made subservient to the rea-
sonins faculties, that the most harm
full effects are to be witnessed; and un-
der certain circumstances. the psychic
al depression may. as in the present
instance, give rise to suicidal inn
pulse. In women and children the abb
sence of due control over the emotions
is frequently due to the unhealthy de-
velopment which results from the or
binary system of female education.
Violent emotional disturbances, when
frequently repeated, leave mark on
the mind akin to the wrinkles which
follow their expression on the features.
and distigure one like the other. Too
great care can not be shown in shield
ing the young and the emotionally
weak from such influences the effect
of which may be injurious and lasting.

4 PrScious Committse Report on Sanitary
Regulations for tho Hot sssson.
The chairman of the committee on
tho safety Of the public health an
nounced that be had his report ready
for the summer Of 1887. and being told
to proceed with it. he arose in his place
and read from a blue-tinted manu-.
script as follows:
Oar am certain things to be looked
out fur doorin' the heated sezun. De
fust thing on de list is cholera. Den
comes, in de regular order named.
yaller fever. consumpshun. bilyus
fever, fallin' into de ribber, gittin' run
ober by street kyar an cholera NOR
bus. Bein' rested by de police an
sent up fur sixty days mus be classed
a. a misfortin instead Of disease.
DE hot sezun am de time to be
keerful. We would recommend to de
Guild populashun Of dis kentry:
II. Ice cream should be eaten slow
ly an deliberately. de chin we'll wiped
OF wild red napkin as soon as posi-
BILE afterwards, an de victim should
beware Of mental excitement or physi-
cal exershun fur an hour or two.
"2. Saltwater an ginger ale
should be paid fur in advance. Dis
gives dc soda-man a chance to look at
de money an find it all right, an
saves de customer any fear Of hevin'
to take to his legs an outrun anybody.
We doan' specify as to de quantity
which kin be safely surrounded. Some
pussons kin hold bar'l. while others
stop at a gallon.
%. Harvest apples an cow-cumbers
hev Stayed tens Of thousands of inno-
cent people, but dey war all white
folks. While we doan' believe either
vegetable am harmful, it will be we'll
to eat slowly, chaw de rinds an cores
very fine, an sit down in de shade Of
de woodshed fur half an hour arter
eating.
-. A watermellyon fired from a
cannon at a culled gem'lan two feet
away might somewhat injoore his ply
steal corporosity, but under no odder
circumstance kin we look upon de po-
duct wild even suspishun. We believe
dat de melon crop of dis kentry fur de
last five Vars, together wild de way it
was distributed about, has been de
means Of keepin' cholera from our
doahs. Doan' leave any core stickin'
to de rinds.
IS. We doan' recommend too much
washin' and cleanin'. De Injun am
de dirtiest pusson on dis airth, an mo-
body eber knowed an Injun to have
cholera or smallpox. Kinder wash up
now and den, an sorter scrub up a
leetle extra on Sundays, an trust de
rest to carryin' an onion in your
pocket.
